Question:

649 Deputy Joan Collins asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if all local authorities submitted their revised restoration improvement three-year programme, restoration improvement schemes maps, restoration maintenance schemes forms to the National Roads Authority by 16 March 2011, in compliance with the contents of circular RLR 2/2011; the local authorities, if any, that did not submit the required documentation by 16 March 2011; if road restoration improvement or road restoration maintenance grants were withheld as a result; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31554/11]

Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (Deputy Leo Varadkar)

The majority of local authorities submitted their Restoration Programme forms on time. A total of 7 local authorities were late with their submissions and had their access to the grant payment system restricted until all forms were returned. There are no Restoration Programme forms currently outstanding and therefore all restrictions have been lifted.
